I wholly endorse your view and watch with trepidation the dastardly developments of crony capitalism that is eating into the vitals of our motherland and impoverishing a billion to bolster the number of vaunted billionaires. It is the inevitable historical consequence as predicted by Marx but one that needs a non-Marxist solution for we are well aware how Marxism and its aberrations have themselves reduced the image of God to being material beasts of burden the world over. A new approach, as yet brewing in the distillery of the evolving history of humankind, is going to transform the human condition but it cannot be either of crony capitalism or state socialism that crushes all humanistic impulses of freedom and self-expression. We are yet to be martyred en masse, it seems, before a new order of enlightened humanity emerges from the dark shades of the past to the bright terrain of the unfolding future, aided by the conjoined dual enlightenment of science and spirituality.
